41; IInwillinq Voyages.—The ship Eme-
tald Isle put to sea yesterday morning, and
started on her voyage to Liverpool. The tug
which accompanied her, dropped off, leaving
the pilot, who took her out of port, ou board
of her. The pilot was in a decided fix; an
unwilling voyager across the Atlantic. For
tunately he was relieved from his dilemma by
an accidental meeting with the steamship.

. and Captainjxeal very kindly took
pilot on board, and brought him back
day evening, in their new Hall, in Hodgson’s
stvinl? 3 'jL°T r -° f ? uU aiul Broughton
streets. -About nine o’clock, the’ members,
with their invited guests, having assembled
in the ante-room adjoining the Hall, which
has been neatly fitted up and decorated for
the business meetings of the Society, the
banquet was announced to be in readiness,
and the company, under the direction of the
Stewards, proceeded to the table, which was
profusely spread with a most sumptuary re-
The President, Major John Cunning
ham, graced the head of the table, First Vice
President "William Bogers doing the honors
at the foot;’ the other 'officers, Second Vice
Presiderit'Bobert Lachlison and Scretary-C.
A. Magill occupying their proper seats, while
the worthy Stewards, Alexander Irving and
J. M. Selkirk, gave their^jersonal' attention
to the dispensation of the true Scotch hos
pitalities of the occasion.
Shortly after the company were seated, a
lousing, smoking Haggis, “the chief of
dishes” at a Ncotish feast, was set before the
President, who,. after reading a poem from
Scotland’s immortal bard in honor of the
Haggis, proceeded to dispense it to the com
pany, who enjoyed it with a relish.
When the company had done justice to the -
viands, the fragments being removed, a ca
pacious jorum of genuine hot Scotch occu
pied the place of the Haggis, and the glasses
being filled with the fragrant beverage, the
President proceeded to read the regular toasts,
which were drank with dne honors, and re
sponded to with eloquence, sentiment and
song by members and guests around the fes
tive board.
The regular toasts having been appropri
ately disposed of, the call went round and the
evening passed in the enjoyment of eloquence,
wit, sentiment,- humor and song to a late
hour, when the festivities were closed with
Old Lang Syne”: by the entire 1 company.
Among the guests were several prominent
gentlemen, English, Irish, Scotch and Amer
ican, with representatives of several of the
national and other benevolent societies of
Savannah. A most agreeable feature of the
evening's entertainment was the presence of
several members of the Savannah Quartette
Club, whose fine sentimental and humorous
songs and glees contributed greatly to the
enjoyment of all present.
The St. Andrews Society is one of the old
est and most respectable benevolent Associa
tions of Savannah. During the war its mem
bership was scattered, and its anniversaries
uncelebrated. We are pleased to learn that
it has been resuscitated under the most fa
vorable auspices, and that its membership ib
rapidly increasing, giving promise of a future
career of prosperity and usefulness.
Court House Sales.—Yesterday being legal
sale day, the Court Honse was. the scene of
unusual commotion, and for” an hour or two
was alive with bnstle and activity. There
was most everything to be sold that a buyer
could wish to purchase—land, stocks, horses,
mules, wagons, carriages, farming imple
ments, and articles of household furniture.
Very few sales of real estate anil stocks
were made, and those few were at prices which
exhibited great demoralization in the value
of real estate, or the cash on hand to pur
chase with. Mnles and horses were sold at
prices ranging from fifty to one hundred and
fifty dollars, but the demand was limited.
Scarcely any bids could be obtained for real
estate, and those were so low that the auction
eers withdrew the property advertised to be
sold. The following sales were effected :
By County Sheriff Dormer:—L.°t in Middle
Oglethorpe Ward, with a front of sixty-one
feet on West Broad street; and two hundred

The first day of winter, according to the
almanac, was observediwith Ahe usual cere
mony in His Honor’s Court. The Marshal,
being absent upon other business Liu place
was occupied by Lieut. Bell; but the latter
failed to fill that position with the usual dig
nity, and did not cause the offenders to start
convulsively and tremble at the awful sound
of his voice and ah ominous frown. Still he
did his best, and deserves credit.
George Johnson keeps a washing machine
of some description or otlier, and is al
ways getting himself into trouble with ne-
veuches. Johnson likes his wliis-
and takes "it like a man. He not
only loves a little, and loves that little
long,..but he loves a good deal, and loves that
good deal strong. Johnson went into a house
in the same yard where he keeps his washing
machines, and cursed all the wenches in the
place; his curses were loud and deep, and at
tracted the attention of the neighbors, who
endured it until patience ceased to be a vir
tue, and then sent for a policeman who con
veyed Mr. Johnson to lodgings in Fort Gal-
loglay. The case was held-over for a further
investigation by the Detective force.
Lawton hod an attack of the same
disease, but it did not. affect him in the same

The Equitable Life Insurance Company.—
We have frequently had cause to comment
upon the promptitude and. generous acting
which are characteristic of this Company, and
it is with pleasure that we direct the atten
tion of the public to another instance of the
ready payment of a risk taken by this Com-
>auy. The late William F. Woods, a well-
cnown merchant of this city, held a policy
for upwards of $30,000 in the Equitable, and
the following letter shows that the sum called
for was paid immediately upon demand;

The Homestead Exemption Law.—The
Homestead Exemption lqw appears to have
been very carelessly and incautiously framed
by the Legislature, and some very curious
operations are ailowed .under its provisions.
With the law, as at present framed, property
can be set aside and secured from seizure,
notwithstanding any previous lien that may
have been given upon it. Parties who may
have lent money in good faith, and in whose
favor a writing has been executed to secure
them in the paymeqt of such money, are left
without any'security at alL If payment is
not made they have qo remedy; the law pro
tects the debtor lit the expense .of the credit
or. It is likely to be a damaging law, to
business; for who will lend, or give credit,
without some security for the debt
A case in point has been brought to our
notice. A lady in this city was enabled to
start in the millinery business, through the
assistance of friends, and with a little capi
tal which she, herself, possessed. She has
been striving to get along iu the world; and
has had a hard tint® do sq comfortably.
She sold to a deafer o^e hundred dollars
worth of Afilliuery goads, giving him time in
which to pay for them- After securing the
goods he takes the benefit of the homestead
exemption act; has the atook of goods in his
store exempted; and the poor woman is left
to whistle for her hundred dollars. She has
no remedy in the world, and has to suffer a
loss which falls heavily npon her. The same
7-nym may go to others. credit for
goods, and claim them as part of his stock;
and, in this mariner, never pay for anything
unless he so. choses, .
A law which allows such operations as this
is a very unjust one; and should either be re
pealed or so amerided as to do justice to all,
the creditor as well as the debtor. W ith rion-
est men it would iqatter 'but little; but
all men are not honest. *_

The Equitable is one of the oldest and
safest companies in the United States. Its
career has been marked by honorable, jnst,
fair and equitable dealing. Its rates ore as
low as those offered by any other company,
and in all things appertaining to life assur
ance it takes the lead "of many organizations
and ranks with the best. It is conducted
upon a perfectly equitable system; pays an
nually a large dividend to stockholders; pays
all losses promptly, and never has to be sued
for them. A better company cannot be found
anywhere; a safer organization in which to
lay op treasure to provide for the support of
family when death has removed the one
who has cared and provided lor them in his
lifetime. When such commutes as the Equit
able abound, itfe criminal negligence on the
part of OUJ mah ia je&ve his wife or children
in a state "of poverty or indigence. A little
money, saved from the family expenses will
pay the premium on an insurance policy; and
in case of accident there is then lwovision for
the family support.
